[Alsa-user] Need help setting snd-hda-intel on alc861

[Sharevein <cl...@12...>]

Hello list,

I got my laptop a week ago. Everything is OK but sound. When I use
lspci, I get this message:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

It's said that I should use snd-hda-intel. So I did. I installed
alsa-driver-1.0.11 and alsa-utils-1.0.11 and loaded the modules without
any options. Seems everything is OK but the sound doesn't work.

#alsamixer

Card: HDA Intel
Chip: Realtek ALC861

There are five control volume. They are PCM, front, CD, Mic, and Input
Source. It's said that there should be a Master control normally, and
the front only can be turn off and turn on but turn up or down.

Somebody said that I should add the model option with module. The model
on ALC861 are 3stack, 3stack-dig, 6stack-dig, and auto. So I try all of
them. They can made more control volume in alsamixer. But most of them
cannot be turn up or down, and there is still not a Master control
volume. Sometime I start the system, I will got the message after alsa
has been loaded:

/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control: 894: warning: name mismatch (side
Playback Switch/CD Playback Volume) for control #5
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control: 896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for
control #5
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control: 1023: bad control.5.value.0 content

I have been searching the solution for a week on Google. Could anyone
help me?
